Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Great Duke, Vol. 1 of 2 Hereafter, when the present generations of men shall have become as remote as the early Greeks or the founders of Rome are to us, it may be found that, in the range of poetry there does not exist an epic, the foundations of which are better shaped for artistic purposes than the story of Wellington's struggle with Napoleon's power. - hamley.
